Frame control

Abstract

A graphical user interface associated with a touch enabled device displays a first video track and a second video track. The first video track includes a first plurality of frames and the second video track including a second plurality of frames. Further, the touch enabled device receives a touch input that indicates a movement of the first video track relative to the second video track. In addition, in response to the touch input, the first video track is displayed in a modified position such that a first frame in the first plurality of frames is aligned with a second frame in the second plurality of frames.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
 display, at a graphical user interface associated with a touch enabled device, a first video track and a second video track, the first video track including a first plurality of frames and the second video track including a second plurality of frames;   receive, at the touch enabled device, a touch input that indicates a movement of the first video track relative to the second video track; and   display, in response to the touch input, the first video track in a modified position such that a first frame in the first plurality of frames is aligned with a second frame in the second plurality of frames.   
     
     
         2 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the computer is further caused to receive, at the touch enabled device, an additional touch input that indicates a movement of the second video track relative to the first video track such that the touch input and the additional input are received concurrently. 
     
     
         3 . The computer program product of  claim 2 , wherein the computer is further caused to display, in response to the additional touch input, the second video track in a modified position such that the first frame in the first plurality of frames and the second frame in the second plurality of frames are aligned. 
     
     
         4 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the computer is further caused to receive the first video track and the second video track through a network. 
     
     
         5 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the first touch input is a first drag and the second touch input is a second drag. 
     
     
         6 . The computer program product of  claim 5 , wherein results of the first drag and the second drag are displayed without inertia. 
     
     
         7 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the computer is further caused to receive a cue point that identifies the first frame in the first plurality of frames and the second frame in the second plurality of frames. 
     
     
         8 . The computer program product of  claim 7 , wherein the computer is further caused to play the first video track and the second video track from the cue point. 
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the computer is further caused to perform video editing over a network. 
     
     
         10 . A method comprising:
 displaying, at a graphical user interface associated with a touch enabled device, a first video track and a second video track, the first video track including a first plurality of frames and the second video track including a second plurality of frames;   receiving, at the touch enabled device, a touch input that indicates a movement of the first video track relative to the second video track; and   receiving, at the touch enabled device, an additional touch input that indicates a movement of the second video track relative to the first video track such that the touch input and the additional input are received concurrently.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising displaying, in response to the touch input, the first video track in a modified position such that a first frame in the first plurality of frames is aligned with a second frame in the second plurality of frames. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising displaying, in response to the additional touch input, the second video track in a modified position such that the first frame in the first plurality of frames and the second frame in the second plurality of frames are aligned. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising receiving the first video track and the second video track through a network. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first touch input is a first drag and the second touch input is a second drag. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first drag and the second drag are displayed without inertia. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising receiving a cue point that identifies the first frame in the first plurality of frames and the second frame in the second plurality of frames. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising playing the first video track and the second video track from the cue point. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising performing video editing over a network. 
     
     
         19 . A touch enabled device comprising:
 a graphical user interface that displays a first video track and a second video track, the first video track including a first plurality of frames and the second video track including a second plurality of frames, displays, in response to a touch input, the first video track in a modified position such that a first frame in the first plurality of frames is aligned with a second frame in the second plurality of frames, and displays, in response to an additional touch input that indicates a movement of the second video track relative to the first video track such that the touch input and the additional input are received concurrently, the touch input indicating a movement of the first video track relative to the second video track, the second video track being in a modified position such that the first frame in the first plurality of frames and the second frame in the second plurality of frames are aligned; and   a processor that calculates the movement of the first video track relative to the second video track.   
     
     
         20 . The touch enabled device of  claim 17 , further comprising a reception module that receives the first video track and the second video track through a network.
